Chapter 8 Kwok's
Zhou Shaojin was stunned: "I'...... Is it? β
"yes!" Mrs. Guan said kindly, "If you haven't met it, you haven't met it, since you have met it, let's go and say hello." β
Zhou Shaojin didn't want to go at all, and was trying to find an excuse, but saw Mama Wang, who was standing next to Mrs. Guan, glaring at her, looking like she wanted her to agree quickly.
She had no choice but to agree.
Mrs. Guan looked at her clothes.
Bleached pigment inlaid with silver and white hem skirts, grass green twenty embroidered honeysuckle Hunan skirts, black hair loosely tied up, only pearl earrings hanging from the ears, ten fingers slender, eyebrows and eyes curved, obedient and gentle, indescribable comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
That's how a girl's house should be!
Mrs. Guan was very satisfied and said, "There is no need to comb your hair again, that's it." β
Mama Wang and the others responded "yes" with a smile, and surrounded Mrs. Guan, and Zhou Shaojin greeted her.
Mrs. Guo is over sixty years old, her hair is full of silver threads, she wears a lilac-colored phoenix eye gown, her ears are hanging with emerald ears the size of lotus seeds, and she wears an emerald ring the size of a pigeon's egg on her hand.
Zhou Shaojin became nervous after just one look.
She lowered her eyelids and cautiously followed behind Old Lady Guan.
Mrs. Guan stepped forward with a smile, took Mrs. Guo's hand, and said, "Why do you have time to come to me today?" I heard that Sister Xiao is pregnant? I was going to ask you for a letter! β
Cheng Xu has two older sisters. The eldest sister, Cheng Zheng, married Gu Xu, the son of Gu Shun, a scholar of Hanlin Academy; The second sister, Cheng Xiao, is married to Cheng Xu's cousin Yuan Ming. Cheng Zheng has two sons, and Cheng Xiao has been married for three years but has not moved, and every time Mrs. Jing mentions this matter, she will frown. And the "Zheng sister" mentioned by Mrs. Guan is Cheng Xu's second sister Cheng Zheng.
Old Madam Guo showed a little smile in her eyes when she heard this, which made her look soften: "I also just got the letter." Her mother-in-law was overjoyed, and she had just been diagnosed, so she brought us a letter. Her mother was a little worried, and she was going to the temple tomorrow to put incense on her and bless her to give birth safely. β
"Don't worry, Jiren has his own nature. Sister Zheng will definitely be able to get her wish this time. After Mrs. Guan comforted Mrs. Guo for a few words, she beckoned to Zhou Shaojin, "Come, I've seen the old lady." β
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Old Madam Guo was surprised: "Who is this?" β
"It's my little granddaughter Zhou Shaojin." Mrs. Guan smiled, "I don't usually talk much, so my relatives don't know each other very well." This time, I'll ask her to come and say hello to you. β
Mrs. Guo was stunned, and then remembered who this so-called "little granddaughter" was.
She smiled and nodded at Zhou Shaojin and praised, "It's a beautiful little girl!" β
Of course, Zhou Shaojin would not take these entertainment words seriously, but such a peaceful meeting was also something she didn't expect.
She was slightly settled.
Mrs. Guan said humbly: "Thank you for your love." But he couldn't hide his joy.
Seeing this, Mrs. Guo thought for a while, and took off the ring between her fingers: "The old object, the little girls may not like it, but fortunately, the color is good, and you can still see it if you change a pendant or something." As he spoke, he handed the ring to Zhou Shaojin, "It's a meeting gift." β
Zhou Shaojin was stunned, where did he dare to answer: "No merit is not allowed to be punished, things are too valuable." β
"It's fine." Mrs. Guo smiled, "What the elders give, you follow." β
Zhou Shaojin refused no matter what.
Mrs. Guan frowned slightly, Mama Wang was so anxious that she jumped to her feet, eager to help Zhou Shaojin take it, and several servants around Mrs. Guo also looked at Zhou Shaojin with bated breath, and Zhou Shaojin realized that she was a little rude. She hurriedly bent her knees and saluted, thanked Mrs. Guo, and took the ring: "Thank you for the reward." β
Mrs. Guo said "um" and said, "That's right." The tone was gentle.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and the hanging heart fell.
Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Guo entered the banquet room.
Mama Wang walked quickly to Zhou Shaojin's side, and whispered hurriedly: "You be generousβremember to serve the old lady's refreshments later." β
Zhou Shaojin's face was hot.
Before she got married, she felt sorry for herself and didn't pay attention to others at all; After getting married, she hid in the Grange in Daxing and respected herself, not dealing with outsiders at all, only others flattered her, how could she ever flatter others.
Now that I think about it, I am too ignorant.
Since he decided to save the Cheng family, he can't be the same as in his previous life. Now that you have decided to change yourself, let's start with these little things that you used to feel humiliated!
She carefully recalled how Shi Xiang and the others served tea and water to themselves, and also followed their example to serve tea to Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guan.
Seeing that she quickly adjusted, Mrs. Guan bowed her head in relief. Mrs. Jing also had to serve in front of Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Guo didn't take Zhou Shaojin's respect to heart, she just felt that this little girl was gentle and gentle, beautiful and docile, and it looked quite pleasing to the eye. So when Zhou Shaojin finished serving tea, she smiled and took the tea bowl and said, "Those trivial things are done by the little maids, you can also sit down." β
This time, Zhou Shaojin did not make his own assertions, responded softly, and stood behind Mrs. Guan.
Mrs. Guo looked at it and remembered her third granddaughter Cheng Sheng - if the spoiled one is here, she will definitely have to make a statement of skill, and she will only give up if she praises her...... One is quiet, and the other is too noisy. In the final analysis, it's because of the different environment in which I grew up.
These thoughts were only fleeting.
Mrs. Guo said this business: "...... I wondered, we still have to listen to the puja on the eighth day of the new year - the birthday of the ancestor is a matter for the masters, so what can we do if we stay at home? β
I'm afraid that the second room doesn't think so!
Mrs. Guan and the mud: "I listen to you." β
It is not easy for four-room orphans and widows to have today. I have received the favor of the long room and the protection of the second room, and it is not good to stand on either side and speak, so it is better not to participate.
When the second room was like a rainbow, Mrs. Guo was not afraid of anyone, not to mention that now her three sons are all two-rank jinshi. When she said this, she didn't want to pick up how the old lady Guan and the second room were, but the only thing about the old lady was generous, sensible, and virtuous, and she was more similar to her, and she wanted to ask the old lady Guan to go to the festival together, and there was a companion on the way.
"That's what it says." Seeing that Mrs. Guan agreed, Mrs. Guo was very happy, and when she talked about the festival, "You don't need to prepare incense and candles or anything - Sister Zheng specially brought me some Canan incense from the capital, and I asked Shiro to exchange two hundred taels of silver for copper coins, all of which are Yongchang Tongbao, all of which are so big and so thick." β
Shiro...... Who is it?
Zhou Shaojin looked at Mrs. Guo with a little blankness.
Mrs. Guan hurriedly called Mama Wang to get a hundred taels of silver tickets to Mrs. Guo.
Old Madam Guo was displeased and said, "What do you and I know so well?" β
"In front of the Bodhisattva, each respects his own mind." Mrs. Guan insisted on refusing.
Brothers, only when you settle accounts are affectionate. Mrs. Guan never took advantage of this kind of small advantage, which is why the old lady of the fourth room died early, but the long room, the second room, and the third room all respect the fourth room.
Mrs. Guo was not reluctant.
Mrs. Guan pulled her to look at the Buddhist scriptures she copied: "Originally, I was a little worried about whether I could offer it to the Bodhisattva, but now it seems that I have to copy it quickly." β
Mrs. Guo's eyes were attracted by a few pages of Buddhist scriptures on the side.
She pointed to the bookcase and said, "This is?" β
"It was copied by Shao Jin." Mrs. Guan said with a smile, "I just started copying and practicing pen." β
"That's a good handwriting." Mrs. Guo said with a smile.
Mrs. Guan said humbly: "It's just a little weak." β
"Little girl's house, it's good to be able to write like this." Mrs. Guo praised, "Except for Sister Zheng, none of our family can calm down to practice calligraphy." β
Mrs. Guan listened to this and said, "This child is usually too quiet, if you look at it, I will ask her to copy a few pages of scriptures for you, what do you think?" β
Zhou Shaojin was so frightened that her face was pale.
Mrs. Guan looked at Zhou Shaojin, who lowered her head and could only see the soft and black green silk, and suddenly felt that it was not bad to have such a quiet little girl by her side.
"That's a good idea." Mrs. Guo said with a smile, "When the scriptures are copied, I will be the east, and I will invite you to go to Huiji Temple to eat fasting food." β
Mrs. Guan joked to Zhou Shaojin: "Whether you can eat the food of Huiji Temple or not, we all depend on you." β
The corners of Zhou Shaojin's mouth were furrowed, and he couldn't say a word.
Mrs. Guo was a little surprised.
She thought Zhou Shaojin would be overjoyed.
After all, her identity is there, a little girl like Zhou Shaojin who is about to say goodbye can win her favor, and she is afraid that she will not find a good mother-in-law?
However, Mrs. Guo is not the person who is dustless at the moment, and thinks that everyone should come to her.
Since the little girl doesn't want to, then forget it.
The pearl and jade words around her are well written, no worse than this little girl. No matter how bad it is, there is still Brother Xu. This child, although naughty, but also filial, these days I don't know who he is crazy with every day, and he doesn't see anyone all day, so it is better to take this opportunity to let him help copy a few pages of Buddhist scriptures and detain him at home for a few days.
Old Madam Guo thought, and a smile appeared in the corners of her eyes.
And over there, Zhou Shaojin finally mustered up the courage and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to copy the ......."
Mrs. Guan was bent on pushing Zhou Shaojin to Mrs. Guo: "It's not that I haven't seen it." If you don't copy it well, you won't be asked to copy it! β
Mrs. Guo laughed.
This little girl is interesting.
It's bold, but it's not annoying.
"It's fine." Mrs. Guo smiled, "You can copy it slowly." If you can catch up with the Buddha Bathing Festival, you will be enshrined on the Buddha Bathing Festival, and if you can't catch the Buddha Bathing Festival, you will be enshrined on the Bon Festival. β
Obon ...... Could it be that she wants to copy the scriptures for Mrs. Guo until July......
Zhou Shaojin wanted to cry without tears.
She really doesn't want to have anything to do with Nagafang anymore!
